Kian's POV

　　I paused for a moment, the mention of Rhea and King Daemon being mates doesn't settle well with me. How is he mated to her? If they are mates as she claimed, I believe that Daemon could have taken her a long time ago. So this whole thing is not making sense to me, he is a Lycan and also the King so taking her won't be hard for him.

　　Besides, Lycan loves challenges. So tell me why this maggot will sit here in front of me and utter something that seems impossible. 

　　I clenched my jaw, my hand curling into a ball and just then I felt something in my heart tightened. That's unusual, thinking of the two as mates outrages me and that's odd. But still, I maintained an expressionless face, keeping my demeanor neutral while staring back at Sheila.

　　"I see you're too interested in my family affairs, and I must remind you that whatever happens in my family is none of your business," I remind her not caring whether she is a Lycan or whatever she calls herself. 

　　"Trust me, Kian, you're correct but as much as I would love to back away and not meddle in your affairs but so sorry... this matter is also important to me, I can't back out," Sheila spoke up, her voice vibrating through my ears.

　　I furrowed my brow in confusion, placing my hand on the desk before her. I leaned forward, "And tell me what's so important that you can't back away?" 

　　After a few seconds of looking at me, she blurted out, "King Daemon," I instantly stiffened and I believe that she noticed me trembling in front of her but didn't say a word. 

　　"I want King Daemon and I'm very much sure that you also want your wife besides you," she added, her gaze not leaving mine.

　　Chuckling, I tilted my head coldly before my eyes fell on her, "Well that's fine but still... I still don't see any reason why you have to be interested in my affairs, you live with King Daemon in the same pack, so go have him," 

　　I noticed her face twisted with rage but still, she managed to keep her demeanor calm and remained quiet. Rhea was already married to me and that was for a reason. My life can not be going perfectly and now out of no way, someone will come out to claim her.

　　I don't know if this is Sheila's plan with that king but one thing I promise them, Rhea will always remain by my side till I am fed up with her presence. Besides, my reasons for marrying her have not yet been completed. She owns me a lot and believe me she will pay for every damage that her useless parents have done in my life before their demise. 

　　So no one, I mean absolutely... No one has the right to obstruct me from punishing her for the huge harm her loved ones caused me, she must pay for their sins and believe me. She must pay for that even if it will cost her life for doing so. 

　　"She isn't yours, Kian, you have to wisen up before it is too late," Sheila said and I could tell that she was struggling hard to contain her rage but I didn't even care. 

　　"The same way my family affairs are none of your business, though I don't know where you got that information from," I said, maintaining my ground. I don't care where she got that information from or what exactly she is up to but one thing is for sure... Rhea is not leaving my side or this pack for anybody all in the name of mate.

　　"And what happens when she finds out?" She asked, " King Daemon is planning with his beta to come to claim what belongs to him, and in no time, the battle will begin... So you need to act fast," 

　　"Haven't you noticed something between the two? You self know that she is not your mate and her mate will hopefully be lurking around here one day but you were ignorant to act fast though is not yet late," 

　　My heart thuds hard at Sheila's question, I won't deny that I haven't noticed how he always stares at her. Always finding a way to make her look better and support her, the event at that party night flashes through my mind. This whole thing is confusing me and I clearly need to think straight.

　　"You have to be fast, Kian, remember no one can be immune to mate bond, so if you don't want to do the needful; then watch her snatched away from you," Sheila declared, causing my gaze to widen. 

　　"What nonsense are you talking about?" I snapped, my eyes braiding in rage. 

　　"If you don't do the needful then watch your reputation and pack crumble and not only that... She will be claimed by her rightful mate, King Daemon," she added, with a little shrugging of her shoulder.

　　"That will never happen!!" I instantly stood up on my feet, my fist pounding hard on the desk, meeting the smug eyes of Sheila. "You will not allow that to happen, right?" 

　　A silly smirk appeared on her lips, "Well, you know what to do," she said firmly, standing up and striding toward the door.

　　I stood there confused, I really didn't know what to do. She seems to know too much and everything that just left her lips sounds so sure. The worst is that she has my secret in her palms. 

　　Almost closer to the door, I rushed toward her and held her left hand, turning her around to face me. "I have no idea what to do besides I know so well that you want King Daemon so stop all this magic," 

　　Sitting on the couch across from each other, I suddenly said, "What's the plan?" 

　　"We just can't let this happen," she voiced out, "I can't imagine another woman with Daemon if not me and that's why we need to work together as one team," 

　　"There is a lot at stake for you, Kian, if the two will come together and I believe you know what I'm saying," she smiled viciously, patting her long lashes in front of me.

　　"I know," I muttered.

　　"First your image will be smashed to the ground, this reputation that you're struggling to build will crumble... You will appear as nothing in front of your pack members, your allies with all the packs will be withdrawn and finally, she will be gone," she broke down each word in a terrifying tone, making sure that I got every single hint.

　　"But I will lose nothing, well except King Daemon," she adds, mockingly flashing her fangs.

　　"So you need your head in the game," 

　　"What do I do? And she already has my mark," I asked, sounding desperate.

　　"That mark means nothing, Kian and you know that... It is just to show off," her forehead wrinkled in disgust, "You need to act fast before Daemon gets her..." 

　　"She still doesn't have an idea that Daemon is her mate, she believes that you two are mated and without a wolf, she won't notice the bond with him," her statements seemed to have reassured me a new hope in my heart.

　　"So what do I do now to stop all this from happening?" I asked, a smug smirk flashing on my lips.

　　"To stop that; then impregnate her and let her have your pup,"
